After 17 incredible years as a beloved staple in Yorkville, Blu Ristorante is embarking on a bold new chapter, relocating to Toronto’s vibrant King West neighbourhood this summer.

In her April 9th article for Great Reads, Jennifer Schembri captures the essence of this transition: a blend of nostalgia and excitement for what’s to come.

Known for its elegant atmosphere, wood-grilled seafood, and romantic charm (yes, the grand chandelier and live piano included), Blu is set to bring the same award-winning experience to its new location. The restaurant’s upcoming home is a historic 1919 building — formerly the General Electric head office — adding character and a dash of Toronto heritage to the already alluring move.

Surrounded by bustling hot spots like Lobster Burger Bar and Il Fornello, the new Blu is positioned to become a culinary gem in Toronto’s financial district. Executive Chef Eric Bucher will continue to serve Blu’s signature Italian fare—from pasta to rack of lamb—in a sleek, contemporary setting that reflects both the restaurant’s roots and its future vision.

The Yorkville location is officially closed, but fans can look forward to a mid-May grand opening at King West. For sneak peeks and announcements, follow @bluristorante on Instagram.
